Lyrics


1. I AM THE GREAT SURVEYOR

I, feel no fear, not anymore
Revel in this explosion of sound,
Travelling across the floor,
The King of all surveillance
I, proud for all to see,
But do you dare to look at me,
I can set you free

I, feel no fear, not anymore
Revel in this explosion of sound,
Travelling across the floor,
Behold The Great Surveyor
I, proud for all to see,
But do you dare to look at me,
I can set you free,
I owe you nothing


2. THE WHOLE SEA TO CROSS

Walls and fences and doors and locks
One more to go when I find myself in the middle
Roads and rivers and The Whole Sea To Cross
The thing is to keep it moving
Keep that engine turning over

No relief but that's how things go,
These streets are not paved with gold
It takes a while but now I know
Yes, I'm sure as hell

Do you have a plan, follow it through,
Be one of the few, who stand to be something
Sure it'll be hard, but follow these words
Look to the future, look to the stars

A little bit unnerving when you can't say for sure,
Try to keep your balance but you're staring at the floor,
Then it hits you, go for it, give it your all
Never look back again
Keep that engine moving forward

No relief but that's how things go,
These streets are not paved with gold
It takes a while but now I know
Yes, I'm sure as hell

Do you have a plan, follow it through,
Be one of the few, who stand to be something
Sure it'll be hard, but follow these words
Look to the future, look to the stars
Do you have a plan, follow it through,
Be one of the few, who won't end up as nothing
Sure it'll be hard, but follow these words
Look to the future, look to the stars

I can't see the end and I can't see the start
Take your dream and tear it apart

Do you have a plan, follow it through,
Be one of the few, who stand to be something
Sure it'll be hard, but follow these words
Look to the future, look to the stars
Do you have a plan, follow it through,
Be one of the few, who won't end up as nothing
Sure it'll be hard, but follow these words
Look to the future, look to the stars


3. IN MY LINE OF COUNTRY

Welcome to My Line Of Country,l
Where I am the Law
What is that you think you know?
Well, I knew it before
Take my hand, step out with me
I'll show you the horizon
It's a humbling sight, but then it fades and I rule this night

This thing's unpredictable
Totally unstoppable
Completely infallible

It's a sad, sad situation, oh yes, indeed I know
Sitting in the shadows, your life fades away
I'll bring you a lantern of light, protect from your foes
It will see you

When everything is said and done
And you see that you have nothing
So yo turn your eyes away, your life lead astray
All I am is what you made me to be, and I am not what I made you see
Beware when you approach me, this is My Line Of Country

This thing's unpredictable
Totally unstoppable
Completely infallible

It's a sad, sad situation, oh yes, indeed I know
Sitting in the shadows, your life fades away
I'll bring you a lantern of light, protect from your foes
It will see you

It's a sad, sad situation, oh yes, indeed I know
Sitting in the shadows, your life fades away
I'll bring you a lantern of light, protect from your foes
It will see you through


4. THE DEEP SIX

What to do when you're out in the rain?
Caught by the storm, it's always the same with me, yeah
It's always the same with me

What to do when you cannot remain?
Escape the pain, travel to the edge of the world

Stand right here, with arms open wide
Deep breath, your mind explodes while you look in my
I am the sky, and I'm closing in
Your chance for redemption, oh, where to begin

A wise man, he once said to me," Why do you struggle so hard to be free?
First just learn to take control"
Don't fight the tides, you'll never survive,
You know the sea will just eat you alive
Take a deep breath, walk down the line
You'll find your way and the rest in due time

Can't you see what is coming your way?
I know that this will be your final day
There is a wave that calls your name
The sound is so heavy it'll blow you away
Everything you are is always so vain
Your closed-off mind has led you far astray
But no time for you, I must be on my way
I'll leave you to prepare for your final day

Stand right here, with arms open wide
Deep breath, your mind explodes while you look in my
I am the sky, and I'm closing in
Your chance for redemption, oh, where to begin


5. OPEN THE DARK DOOR

Open The Dark Door and breathe
Take it all in, just try to feel
The door is wide open now, and it's all blue and green
Take a big step, and be the effect
Forget everything that has been

Open The Dark Door and walk into the light
Like a bird taking flight
We will make it through this night
Step onto the battlefield, now it's calm, covered in flowers
Remember my dear all the time you spent here
Hours and hours and hours and hours

When we used to play here, it seemed so small
Hard to think what happened on this ground, and now you're so tall
Step into the sunlight, get onto the road
A quick glance back, to what once was, and on and on we go

Open The Dark Door and walk into the light
Like a bird taking flight
We will make it through this night
Step onto the battlefield, now it's calm, covered in flowers
Remember my dear all the time you spent here
Hours and hours and hours and hours

All through everything, your castle made of sand
Come take my hand, I hope you'll understand
All through everything, days gone by
It's time to fly, come say goodbye

Open The Dark Door and walk into the light
Like a bird taking flight
We will make it through this night
Step onto the battlefield, now it's calm, covered in flowers
Remember my dear all the time you spent here
Hours and hours and hours and hours


6. BEFORE THE REIGN

It's the end of the day, and my fortress made of sand is about to be blown away
I felt an explosion right inside my head
Falling down to hit the earth, and now I've made my bed
I felt an explosion, it blew the place apart
A fine fucking mess it made, could be a work of art
Now I stand here, surveying the scene
Looking around at everything, all blowing into pieces
Now I stand here, I don't know what this means
I guess I have to start again, re-build and try to

Need to find myself again, who I was, Before The Reign
I'm of course the one to blame, for hurting you all
Need to find myself again, who I was, Before The Reign
I'm of course the one to blame

And then the sound blows the lights out, and there are colours in the sky
My fortress is disintegrating, everything is falling to pieces
But then the music takes hold of me
Everyone is dancing all around
I think I know how I'm going to start again
And build up from the ground

Need to find myself again, who I was, Before The Reign
I'm of course the one to blame, for hurting you all
Need to find myself again, who I was, Before The Reign
I'm of course the one to blame


7. CASTLE

I've sealed up all the exits, and locked down every door
But I don't feel any safer, like I might be betrayed through the floor,
Running between the rooms, devouring the corridors,
The safest place is not to be, when I can find no way to flee

I thought I was protected, but now you know where I am
So now I'm a hostage, what a plan
I thought I was protected, but now you know where I am
So now I'm a hostage, what a plan

So, ready or not, here we come
Tried a thousand different ways, but now you better run
Believe us when we say you are the hunted one
The game has turned, not much fun
Go through your house made of steel, and while you run think of all that you've done
For now we sit at the wheel
Don't you remember who you were?

I thought I was protected, but now you know where I am
So now I'm a hostage, what a plan
I thought I was protected, but now you know where I am
So now I'm a hostage, what a plan


8. DOWN A LEVEL (PART I)

Stumble, trip through the forest, on my way
Snow covers everything on this lonely day
The air tastes so crisp, it leads me astray
It leads me astray

Darkness, arrives so fast, I'm lost in the trees
Snow-blind, I realise that I cannot see
Irrational thoughts come alive within me
Here I am

Sliding, Lose control off the edge, falling down
Broken, feel my body hit the ground
Shock, encircles me, around and around
Here I am
Conscious, assess myself, I can't hear a sound
Desperate, I'm sure that I will never be found
Forget the tears, They won't help me now
Here I am


9. DOWN A LEVEL (PART II)

All of these things don't happen for a reason,
things just happen at the time that they do
It's just the way things happen to be, they'll run into you
Drop you Down A Level
All of these things don't happen for a reason,
things will happen at the time that they will
Stop seeing signs, step up to the line
Stare them in the face and

Pick myself up, carry on
To the place where we belong
Pick myself up, carry on

Sweet, sickly smell of smoke wafts through the air
Telling me that time is short, time to beware
Down on my knees trying not to be seen,
this is nowhere I've been
I am Down A Level

Sweet, sickly smell of smoke fills up my lungs,
blocks out the sun, signals the end of this
Need to move on, this present is gone
Stare you in the face and

Pick myself up, carry on
To the place where we belong
Pick myself up, carry on

Pick myself up, carry on
To the place where we belong
Pick myself up, carry on

Pick myself up, carry on
To the place where we belong
Pick myself up, carry on
To the place where we belong


10. CURTAINS CLOSE

Join me in my world, this last day
Come sit with me child, there's much to say
Great days have gone by, no regret
Tyrant or King, none forget

Traveling onwards now, these Curtains Close
Tonight's the night, the end of the show
See the path he followed, the road he chose
I'll see you again one day, down the line, who knows

Whisper in my eyes, I am blind
I can feel the night
Open up my mind, all yours now
Can you feel the power?

Traveling onwards now, these Curtains Close
Tonight's the night, the end of the show
See the path he followed, the road he chose
I'll see you again one day, down the line, who knows?

Who knows?

As the stones fall into sea
All join hands, we are seeing the end of this
As the stones fall into the sea
We're leaving this scene, let this great thing be

As the stones fall into sea
All join hands, we are seeing the end of this
As the stones fall into the sea
We're leaving this scene, let this great thing be
